EcoCampus is an environmental management system (EMS) that the University signed up to to try and put in place processes, practices and systems to drive the University towards reducing it's environmental impact and implementing best practice. The EMS is based on the internationally recognised ISO 14001 and works in stages of accreditation.
Bronze is the first, then Silver, Gold and last of all Platinum. The idea is that the scheme gives you achievable targets to reach on a step by step process towards the final award which is the equivalent of the ISO 14001. So far only three universities have achieved the Platinum award and now we can say that the University of Greenwich has achieved the first major step towards that ultimate aim.
